Linux Distro Building (part 1)

Hello my fellow nerds!!!

In this post, you will find the first part of the distro engineering topic, or how to start a  Linux distribution building from the source. I will cover topics like isolation of the host distro, shell environment, debug symbols, scratch the compiler and linker flags, autotools, static and shared libraries and a little about shell scripts.

At the end of the article there are some exercises for practice (very easy).

I keeping track about grammatical errors yet. So stay tuned for modifications and fell free to send corrections.

Enjoy.

Nerdiness level: So deep like the bottom of the oceans.
Morality: Paragons +10
Requirements: have a reasonable experience with Linux shell interface, package compilation, shell scripting, a
minimal knowledge about C is recommended.

distro building – starting a toolchain

My very first post!

Well, this is my first post in my first blog.

Perhaps I could start this early, once I’m a computer scientist, but I was a bit shy to do so.

English is not my native language, but I think be able to write most of the posts in english. Some typos will be inevitable.

Anyway, by now, I can share my thoughts with others peoples with similar interests. First of all, I always will be a teacher, some kind of genetic trait I presume, since a part of my family work with education. So you can wait many posts about me teaching something to you.

Between the topics I want to post will include:

1) Computers: mainly showing something about free softwares like Linux and the nice things  you can make with this awesome O.S. But I’ll talk about some generics too, like development in a good range of languages from C/C++, passing to PHP, to C# with XNA (my more recent knowledge achievement); databases; virtualization; servers configurations; computer security, good practices and any other nice topics.

Be adviced, most posts will follow the hack way. Some subjects will dive very deep inside the topic. And if you think that hacking is all about breaking computer security read the “How To Become A Hacker” from Eric Steven Raymond before read my posts.

2) Games: My passion, I start to learn about computer because of this! Any game I’ll play (or intent to play) will have some kind of post like reviews ans news. Game creation will be one topic (see 1). I enjoy games like modern and future shooters, some fighting games, some puzzles and RPGs (you will discover my preferred is Mass effect).

3) Science Fiction: I love films and series with sci-fi elements, although I think I need to watch more than I actually did. By the time, I plan to start read more novels about it. ASAP.

4) Occasional posts about weird technology like quantic physics, black holes and others stuffs. I’m far to be a specialist, but I like to talk about it.

5) GURPS Dice and Paper RPG: I’m a GURPS player since… well, I really don’t remember when I start to play, I were a teen! Anyway, I will post things about GURPS one time or another, one of my current projects is about a set of game aids to it.

6) Teaching: a good idea is share about my teaching experiments.

An welcome to my blog. My hope is that be useful and/or interesting to you.

From a NERD, a Giga one!
